GENERAL SANTOS CITY, The Philippines, Nov 15, 2011 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX News Network) -- The ground works on a 200 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant | |||
the Philippine town in Sarangani are set to begin within the | |||
next few weeks, with a formal groundbreaking slated for | |||
November 25, a company official said. | |||
Joseph Nocos, Conal Holdings Corp. vice president, told | |||
reporters the groundbreaking for the US$450 million coal-fired | |||
power plant, which will be pursued by affiliate Sarangani | |||
Energy Corp., is a step to making the project a reality. | |||
"It signals the start of the actual implementation of the | |||
[coal-fueled plant] project," he said in a press briefing. | |||
He estimated the construction of the first phase, which | |||
includes 100 MW, would be completed in 36 months or later in | |||
2014, at a time when Mindanao is projected to have a supply | |||
shortfall. | |||
The second phase, which would cover the remaining 100 MW, | |||
would follow after an interval of 12 months or a year, Nocos | |||
said, adding the coal needs of the power plant will be imported | |||
from Kalimantan in Indonesia. | |||
Conal Holdings is 60 per cent owned by the publicly-listed | |||
Alsons Consolidated Resources (PSE:ACR) and the rest held by | |||
the Electricity Generating Public Co. Ltd. (EGCO), Thailand's | |||
largest power producer. | |||
